Haltom Chinese Restaurant

"I hate to write a negative review and I wasn’t going to. I hope that instead of hurting they step their game up. I was in the area and googled this place and it had decent reviews. I don’t know how! The staff was very friendly and welcoming so I really appreciate that. The food on the other hand was absolutely disgusting!!!! Threw away about 80% of it. The rice was musty as someone stated and the general Tso chicken was barely edible. As soon as I opened the plate I noticed about only 5 general tso peices. They were mushy and weird colored. The egg roll was bland but I ate it since I was starving. The crab ragoons had a weird flavor and texture. I don’t understand what’s going on but hopefully they get it together. I spent $18 on this and honestly very upset with myself. Worst Chinese food I’ve ever had."

"I want to know who this place paid to give such positive reviews because the food we received wasn't even worthy of the 1 star this review is giving. 1) Nothing had flavor. Well not nothing... Just the main ingredients. The chicken in the cashew chicken had zero flavor...not even chicken flavor. The canned mushrooms added were gross, next to the obnoxious amount of bitter celery in there. The sauce tasted like straight hoisin. The General's Tso's sauce was cooked too long and burnt both in taste and in visuals. The egg roll was mealy and oily yet shockingly no flavor. Smothered in the sauces was the only way to eat it but after 2 bites I was like "why bother? The fried rice tasted "musty." The lo mein had NO flavor but hoisin. And again with the gross canned button mushrooms. Yikes. 2) The soups. I was hoping the wonton soup was going to be decent. But as soon as I saw the brown water, I knew. Why was it dark brown?!?!?! Then the actual wontons were almost all wrapper. Rename that to wonton wrapper soup to be accurate. So disgusting. Thank goodness they barely gave me any in the large we ordered. The small egg drop soup was the worst. Zero salt and rancid tasting. Did they use the cleaning water as the soup base? This place is the worst Chinese food I've had. The people praising this place are why there are trust issues in the world."

"Main lesson from this food purchase: - Don’t write reviews when you’re upset Unfortunately I feel I have a duty to save people money and warn them from extremely unsatisfactory food. I trashed 3/4 of the food I purchased. $45 3 entrées 2 egg drop soup (Ate the egg rolls) Rice was terrible I’m simply disappointed with the inability to find any quality Asian take out cuisine. Forget this place."

"I have loved this place since i was a kid. Came back to town and was so happy they are still here! Everything was just as delicious as i remembered! Definitely support this business, you wont be disappointed!"

"The food was good and the portions were as large as I remember. It may not be the 5 Star food it once was but it was still a good meal with a very good value for the cost. The service was very good as well. They were very on top of your needs without constantly hovering. Our only complaint was the cleanliness of the bathrooms - not nasty, but did need more cleaning."
